So far mostly people are telling me I'm probably stuck until their lease is over. meanwhile I also need to pay down my debt and improve credit score. 

Everything you said is exactly why-- debt levels, market demand, associated costs(taxes & insurance).

NO debt NO debt NO debt on rentals is the way to go as you mature in age as an investors.

Further, the property may qualify for larger loans based on the increased cash flow ability to service debt.  

Very recently had someone (who did not need to use the Bitcoin) try to increase their down payment by over a hundred grand, so they could be less in debt, using Bitcoin that had not been adequately seasoned (the Bitcoin has just gone up a zillion percent...).

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

Significant and sustained population growth leads to demand exceeding current supply, causing prices to rise until there's a rough balance between sellers and buyers.

This also leads to the reviews based on my criteria and setup, not the previous owners. 

You do need to have steady employment, decent credit, and not be drowning in debt.

There's other dialers out there that's more custom tailored to organizing calls, lead follow-up plus much more cost effective and honest with a live customer service line.
